The ideal candidate will support children whose education is at risk, and help families to improve their children's access to learning. We serve a diverse and sometimes challenging community , but one which is full of potential and we need someone with integrity, innovation and drive to work with and support families in enabling all children and young people to maximise their educational opportunities.
